Meet Disco Ball—a vibrant, tactile sensory material crafted from a 250g–450g mix of chickpeas, each piece painted in a dazzling array of colors. This color-rich set is designed to spark curiosity, encourage hands-on exploration, and bring play-based learning to life in any home, classroom, or therapy space.

What makes it special

  • Colorful, engaging palette: A spectrum of bright hues inspired by disco-glow tones, perfect for color recognition, sorting games, and creative storytelling.
  • Safe, paint-enhanced surfaces: The colors are applied with UKCA tested paints to provide vibrant, durable tones that withstand repeated handling during hands-on activities.
  • Durable sensory material: The chickpeas offer a satisfying tactile experience with a substantial feel and pleasing looseness that invites scooping, pouring, and pinching—great for fine motor development.
  • Learning through play: Ideal for sensory bins, color matching, counting exercises, pattern making, and imaginative scenarios—especially when paired with themed busy bags like mermaid or fairy adventures.
  • Parental supervision and safety: While the paints are UKCA tested, the chickpeas themselves are not. Please monitor use as a learning aid and avoid giving to children under three for consumption.

Perfect for a variety of play-based learning moments

  • Sensory bins: Create a dreamy, oceanic or fantasy-scene bin by mixing Disco Ball with water-safe props or sand for a multisensory experience.
  • Color recognition and sorting: Prompt kids to group chickpeas by hue, then count each color to build early math skills.
  • Counting and sequencing: Use the different colors to practice one-to-one correspondence, skip counting, or simple patterns (AB, AABB, etc.).
  • Imaginative play: Enhance mermaid or fairy-themed busy bags—let children feed, bury, or hide tiny treasures among the colorful chickpeas to fuel storytelling and role-play.
  • Fine motor fun: Scooping, pinching, and transferring the chickpeas strengthens hand muscles essential for writing readiness.

Who will love Disco Ball

  • Parents seeking a tactile, engaging learning aid that supports color literacy, math readiness, and imaginative play.
  • Educators and therapists looking for a versatile, reusable sensory material that can be integrated into stations, therapy sessions, or small-group activities.
  • Kids who enjoy bright colors, hands-on exploration, and creative storytelling with a magical, fantasy twist.

Care, use tips, and storage

  • Spread a tray or mat to contain spills and make cleanup easy after play sessions.
  • Use kid-friendly scoops, tongs, or small bowls to encourage precise hand movements and color sorting challenges.
  • Store in a sealed container between uses to preserve color vibrancy and texture.
  • Always supervise young children during play and avoid ingestion of the chickpeas.

Discover the magic of learning through play with Disco Ball. Its vivid colors, tactile texture, and compatibility with themed busy bags turn everyday exploration into engaging, imaginative adventures that kids will beg to repeat—while giving caregivers and educators tangible ways to nurture early skills.

The Disco Ball is evocative, to say the least, but that's why you're drawn to it in the first place.
